I know it's a matter of time before they cancel my contract. I have very little if any regular work to do. I'm begging for work!

I am currently studying for my CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) exam in my cube with the occasional O.R. refresh.

Year, Mileage, etc?

I personally LOVE my RSV. The torque is awesome and the bike feels great compared to my CBR600F which isn't much to compare to. It's a bike that likes to be man-handled around. Has a heavier feel to it but it's not a big deal. Makes sweet sweet sounds.

2000.5 models were nice, but in 01 they revamped the bikes with over 200 new parts, engine raised in the frame, etc. Then they redid the bike again in 03 with a new motor, close ratio gearbox, etc.

They are all good bikes, the motor is practically bulletproof from everything I read as long as you keep oil in it.

Some have had electrical gremlins but it's kind of a normal thing. Mine doesn't. Also, these bikes suffer from bad starting systems. You have to keep the starting system in top shape at all times. The normal things are always keep it on a battery tender, keep a good battery in it, upgrade to a Yamaha started relay for $35 and solder this bad plug in the system. Those upgrades are to keep the sprag clutch (starter clutch) from failing.

If the sprag fails, it's bad news bears. $350 to replace yourself assuming the starter is ok.

That's the biggest weak point to the bike. I'll warn you though, you ride one and you may become an addict.

As for the price, seems a little high. I overpaid for mine, stupid but I did. If it's low miles and in really good condition then I'd pay that asking price.
